The mid-season firing of UConn head coach Paul Pasqualoni
has caused indecision amongst some prospects who had previously
committed to play for the school beginning in 2014. One such prospect is Justin
Noye, a 6-1, 195-pound athlete from East
high school (Rochester, N.Y.). Noye committed to UConn on June 28, and
although still committed is weighing his options.

"I didn't de-commit, I just started talking to more colleges,
now," said Noye.

The coaching situation at UConn has put a damper on his
commitment, according to Noye, causing him to take the steps to ensure he originally
made the proper decision.

"The situation didn't really turn me off but stuff was going bad over
there, so I just want to make the best decision for me and my four years," Noye
said. "It's my future so I don't want to go to a school and realize I made the
wrong choice."

Noye originally held offers from Rutgers, Buffalo, Old
Dominion, UMass, Florida Atlantic and Albany, in addition to UConn. And he is
talking to most of those schools as well as Penn State who he says has been
showing interest as of late.

But one school that he held an offer from that he hasn't heard
much from is Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights had high interest in Noye leading up
to Friday Knight Skills Camp in May. But due to injury, Noye was unable to
perform at his highest level.

"I already had a torn hamstring, but I was still going to
all these camps and I kept ripping the scar tissue. I didn't tell anybody, I just
played through it," he said. "But I really messed my hamstring up. At Rutgers, the
Nike camp and the Under Armour camp, I really messed it up. None of the coaches
knew that though. But now it's all healed and I'm back to 100 percent."

Noye says his hamstring issue severely impacted his
performances throughout camp season, preventing his recruitment from flourishing
as it should have.

"It affected me a whole lot," he said, "because I couldn't run
my fastest and do what I do best. But I just played through it."

And apparently, his interest in the Scarlet Knights still
exists.

"I like Rutgers, but I haven't heard from them in a while,"
he said. "But if they show some interest, I'll listen."

Noye also has interest in West Virginia and Vanderbilt. And
although he has yet to set up a visit schedule, Noye hopes to hit the road and
experience the atmospheres of multiples schools over the next couple months.

Most of all, Noye appears to be seeking out a school that
will show him loyalty over the next four to five years of his football career.

"I just want to be somewhere that I'm comfortable, and a
place where if anything goes wrong I'll still be able to graduate," he said. "I
don't want to go to a college where the coaches can just forget about me."
